Let’s talk about invisible wireless fence for dogs. When I can’t see the mechanics in action, I tend to view some types of technology skeptically, almost as if witnessing a miracle. Electric fences certainly fit the bill when it comes to unseen messages being communicate.
Magically, your dog will know when to stop when you lay a wire in the ground (or, even more baffling, plug in a wireless transmitter).
There have been other occasions when I was out walking my dogs and fearfully monitoring a neighbor’s dog to make sure he wasn’t going to run after us, only to find that the dog was remaining inside the confines of an invisible fence.
Please allow me to explain the operation of an wireless fence to dog you, from one non-technical pet parent to another. Then, I can explain the benefits and drawbacks of an invisible wall so you can determine whether installing one is a good idea.
Definition of an Invisible Dog Fence:
The underground copper wire serves as the boundary fence for an electronic dog fence, also known as an invisible dog fence.
It will contain your pet inside an electrically charged perimeter without a physical fence. As the name implies, the wireless fence uses a collar to communicate with your pet.
While the specifics of how an electronic collar dog fence works may vary from model to model, the Stay Fence Pet Containment System shown here uses audible warnings to get the dog’s attention when it gets close to the boundary. After that, one of three progressively gentler penalties is apply as the dog approaches the fence.
What is the procedure for an Invisible Dog Fence?
Although there is a consistent method by which underground invisible dog fences operate, each system may differ in its precise effectiveness, dependability, and features. The transmitter in each configuration sends a radio signal through the underground wire loop. When the signal is sent as electromagnetic waves, the buried wire acts as an antenna to receive them.
Due to the low power output of the transmitter, it will limit the range of the signal sent by the boundary wire to only a few meters at most. Some configurations use a copper boundary wire carrying two signs, one at high and one at low.
Many degrees of punishment are available in these wireless fence systems based on the dog’s distance from the boundary wire as detected by the dog’s receiver collar.
This collar really has a small radio receiver. The dog’s radio collar picks up the signal sent out by the buried boundary wire when the dog is within range. The radio sends a correction to a dog when it gets too close to the border.
You have buried a boundary wire around your property, connecting to the transmitter you have put in a dry, secure location. For an illustration of this recursion, please refer to the Stay Fence installation manual’s sample layouts. The transmitter’s settings control the width of the electric field away from the installed wire.
Using an Invisible Fence and Why You Should?
In many situations, an invisible dog fence would be the best option. To begin with, it will ensure that your pet stays on your property and away from the dangers of the street. This might be deadly for your dog and poses a risk to other drivers. Although your dogs are like part of the family, your neighbors may not feel the same way.
An invisible dog fence may help you keep your dog on your property and out of the way of your neighbors. Dogs that are permit to roam freely are more likely to be struck by vehicles, less likely to show aggression toward other canines, less likely to get contagious illnesses, and less likely to be stolen.
What is the function of an invisible electric dog fence?
When teaching a dog to respect an invisible fence, there are three main considerations to keep in mind:
In order to construct the fence, either buried wire or a wireless fence transmitter must be employ.
The collar is meant to be worn around the dog’s neck as a form of identification.
Your dog need the training to comprehend what is going on entirely.
Wireless Pet Containment System:
Invisible dog fences may have either a perimeter or an inside barrier.
Wired fence:
Wire is buried only a few inches deep all the way around a piece of land to create an underground fence. This wire is usually coiled within a garage and link to a transmitter inside the house.
The wire used for this purpose often run above ground. However, it isn’t recommend since it’s easy to imagine someone tripping over it, or a lawnmower shattering it.
For the collar to detect the invisible barrier, the transmitter transmits a signal via the wire (more on that in a minute).
There are numerous positive aspects of underground fencing. If you want to set up some kind of barrier, you can use the wired wall.
You may keep your dog in the yard but prevent it from accessing the pool or garden by burying a wire.
You may also use twisted wires to block the transmission of a signal. It’s convenient if you don’t have to constantly switch off the dog’s receiver collar so that he may pass through a gate.
The fence that communicates wirelessly
To create a border zone for a wireless system, a transmitter must hook into an electrical outlet inside the structure. This creates a circle with a predetermined radius. The range of acceptability for this diameter shifts with the various fence types. You may set the border’s center wherever you want to plug in the transmitter.
With its wireless freedom, the invisible barrier can go wherever you go. You may take it to your in-laws’ place or use it in your recreational vehicle (RV) when camping to ensure your pet stays nearby.
RF Receiver Collar
The collar for the invisible fence is the next component. For an invisible wall to work, your pet must wear a collar that operates like an AM radio and picks up the weak signal sent by the hidden fence transmitters.
Your pet’s collar will emit a warning signal or other kind of feedback if your pet comes too close to the invisible fence’s perimeter.
Most invisible fences provide a range of correction options, including tones, vibrations, and even static shocks, which may use in several combinations.
A dog’s collar may emit a warning sound as the animal approaches a boundary and deliver an emotional shock if the dog persists in crossing it. The intensity of your pet’s punishment is entirely up to you.
Pay close attention to the collar’s qualities when you look for an invisible fence. Some run on rechargeable batteries, while others need regular purchases of new ones.
